Hello all, this is my first post here and I'm relatively new to apache manipulation like this.

I've been trying to find a way to allow only select users to see the index of a directory on my web page. I have that section password protected using basic .htaccess method. I want select users to be able to access files through links, with the correct name and pass, but not be allowed to index that directory. That's the easy part, i did not add "options +indexes" I'm wondering... what other options do I have in that line, can i define index rights to specific users? I would like to allow other select users to browse, that's where I'm stuck. I do not have access to the root files, i'm using a host, 1and1 to be exact. Thanks in advance!
